The predecessor of Kindle 2 sold about 400,000 devices, and Amazon plans on this figure being double for Kindle 2 in the year 2009 alone.

So what is actually this hot selling device? Well if you are in for reading books, you will be thrilled. Let me give you an overview of what the device actually is, and what it does.

Introduction:

Amazon’s Kindle 2 is actually a mobile eBook reader. It was first made available to the general public on February 9, 2009. This device is actually an update to the previous Amazon Kindle with some additional features. Following are some of its major and important features:

Features:

• It weighs 10.2 oz
• It has 7 times the storage capacity comparing to its predecessor
• It has a built-in 3 speeds text-to-speech feature
• It has the tendency to turn pages 20% faster then its predecessor

· 25% extra battery life then the previous version

· Utilizes 3G technology for internet, so don’t have to rely on getting a hotspot to actually download books

· Kindle 2 has a new feature added, the additional feature is called “Whisper sync bookmarking” to help its users pick up their book right where they left off, even if they shift to other devices.

· This device also has a high resolution display technology known as electronic paper, in which the display is black and white, and really crystal clear and crisp. This crystal clear display assures you that the reading format will be clear and easily readable.

Keeping in mind all the new tweaking that Amazon did to its portable book reader, there is simply no wonder as to which Amazon is making so much sales and profits from the sale of the device. Kindle 2 is really more technologically advanced, making it a far better choice then its predecessor, so it is really an irresistible device for any one who is familiar with kindle device.

The advent of Bluetooth technology was with Bluetooth version 1.2 which had a slow transfer speed. Then, the technology advanced on with the advent of Bluetooth version 2.0, which had better transfer speeds and higher ranges then its predecessor. Bluetooth 2.0 has really reined the inter-cell phone multimedia communication, until recently.

The Bluetooth communications is planning a major breakthrough in Bluetooth technology with the integration of 802.11 technologies into Bluetooth, and upgrading it to version 3.0; with this advancement the users will have the privilege to transfer their multimedia content with blazing fast speeds of 802.11 wireless technologies, over their Bluetooth protocol. This does not mean that they have to transfer their connection onto a Wi-Fi connection; all they have to do is turn on their Bluetooth connection, and start transferring files onto another handset with the Bluetooth version 3.0 supports. The Bluetooth protocols would start communicating between each other at the blazing fast speeds of 802.11 wireless networks. They can now transfer huge multimedia content amongst their phones, without having to worry about the long hours the process is going to take, as with the 802.11 technology the files will be transferred at bolstering fast speeds. As soon as they are done transferring the file, their Bluetooth connection would switch back to earlier Bluetooth version protocol with the transfer speed of 3 MB per second, utilizing the same low battery power like before.

This advancement is supposed to be released in the general public on April 21^st, 2009. Once the new standard is announced by Bluetooth SIG, it won’t be long before we start seeing Bluetooth version 3.0 enabled handsets in the market, and people transferring movies through their cell phones like they were just transferring some mp3 songs or wallpapers.

Some brands of phones do show concern over this technology though, as their batteries are not so heavily equipped to have an 802.11 connection go through them and still provide the user with the whole day of battery backup. This condition is being worked on, and hopefully will be resolved by the time this technology actually hits the market in the form of handsets.

Any one of the Sidekick users by Motorola or Sharp is really in shock with the advent of this one in the market. They agree that this is by far the best Sidekick ever made, and it actually does look like semi-professional and very aspiring at the same time. It would be safe to say that every other sidekick looks like a toy in front of this one, when compared to design, materials and build quality of the whole product.

The timing of T-Mobile on this one was just perfect, because the new Twitter just came out, and T-Mobile launched a device with the full fledge twitter integration in it, because most of the users out there were searching for something with a little bit of twitter support in it too. Also, the Microsoft Live search and the GPS monitoring abilities of this device is completely outstanding, and therefore an ideal choice for many. The phone could be physically large for some, but you can’t say it’s impractical because of the amount of features included in it. Its display is really crystal clear and crisp, and it is better then any handset that have been used in the United States yet. The graphics are so perfect, that you can actually distinguish every visible pixel on there, and this really enables the user to get the most out of its Sidekick.

This is a major breakthrough for the trend setters of handsets that have been out in the market, and now one can be sure that more intriguing stuff is coming your way very shortly.

Nokia N95 which was released on March 2007 is one of the highly efficient smart phones from Nokia (N-Series) which is popular for high end features and its special camera (5 Mpxl. with flash). It was another N-Series phone from Nokia but with all the features to make a complete luxury phone as well as a geek’s gadget. Nokia N95 is based on Series 60 3^rd edition and is powered by Symbian OS v9.2. The mobile comes with all the features you would like – WI-Fi, High quality media player (Audio and Video players supporting a variety of file formats), Camera with Carl Zeiss lenses, GPS system with Nokia Maps application besides a quality display and a multitude of Applications and Games. This makes it one of the most sought mobiles competing with Iphone and other luxury class devices and we know how powerful is the Symbian OS, which lets you install some of the best software applications n games in the mobile on a fly.

Now recently Nokia unveiled a bit edited version of this N95 which is known as Nokia N95 8GB since it has been upgraded to an outstanding internal memory of 8GB and the slot MicroSD been removed. So you would have 8GB plus 160 MB of Internal flash memory in the Nokia N95 8GB. The display screen has been expanded to 2.8 inches, while the resolution remains same at 240 x 320 pixels resulting in a slight decrease in pixel density. Also the RAM size has been expanded to 128 MB with and the battery is upgraded to 1200mAh. Talk times have reportedly improved and 3G support has been added, which may not be available in every country. The camera’s looks are quite good now and there’s no shutter.

So these are the changes that are made to the normal N95 (launched in March,2007) and 3G supported N95s are available in select countries only as China and many other nations have a bit different version of the same Nokia N95 8GB. Let’s discuss the features you get in the N95 8GB including the features that were already present in the previous N95.

First of all the 8GB internal memory is completely available to store multimedia files like Audios, Videos, Music, Ringtones, Videos, Map data etc. as another 100 MB internal memory(dynamic) is there for storing common things like SMSes, to-do, notes and applications. Being a series 60 mobile, you’ll surely have applications and games of your choice like Prince of Persia installed in your N95 besides the multimedia content. With its flash enabled 5 Megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, you can capture MPEG-4 (.MP4 files) videos at VGA resolution (max frame rate – 30 FPS for 3.4 hours). You can also connect the mobile to your TV system and have the videos displayed (Note – cable for this is provided with the phone).

Support for Nokia Lifeblog and video/photo gallery makes it exciting. The photo and videos editing apps are also good. And considering the music – the inbuilt music player supports Mp3, AAC, WMA file formats and the stereo sound quality is much better than other Nokia mobiles. Other features include stereo FM, Wi-Fi, GPS with Maps, Bluetooth and most of features of the previous N95 has been preserved. Nokia N95 8GB may be considered as the smartest smart phone in the market with it’s all round computing capabilities unlike Iphone and Nokia 5800 XpressMusic which are too good for multimedia capabilities only.
